InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 15

Four months had passed. Even if Kagome had said that she won't marry anyone except Inuyasha, she was forcefully engaged with the count Houjo of Kyoto. He was an excellent husband, as the duke said he would be. Even if he knew through what bygones Kagome has passed, he still had pity on her. To attach more on her, he showed her that he didn't care that she was pregnant with a hanyou, and was behaving marvelously with her. But, as much as Houjo wanted to win her heart, Kagome still didn't opened her. Inuyasha still lived in her….and the baby was one of the reasons.

 

On Izayoi Island the reparations were almost complete. The attack and the fight with Sesshoumaru had produced important damage, but now, the most part was repaired. All that remained was the principal supervision tower and some houses. The life began to restore. Miroku was the chief of the rebuilding team. Sango came to him.

-“How is it going with the reparations? I saw that they are almost over.”

-“Affirmative, Sango. The reparations are almost over, and in a few weeks, it won't even observe that it was a fight here. But we must finish the principal supervision tower. Without it we won't know when we'll be attacked. But first, we had to repair the affected homes, before we would have gone low on repairing resources.”

-“You're right, Miroku. From when the kekkai didn't protect us, we are very exposed. He was the one protecting us and was activated by the necklace Kagome-chan weared. I wonder what she does now. It has been 4months since our separation. I miss her very much.”

-“We all do, Sango. We all want to see her again. But unfortunately, we don't know anything about her and about the events that happened in these 4 months. It might be possible that she might be married with another one.

-“Kagome? To marry another one beside the Captain? You're kidding, right? She wouldn't do such a thing! The Captain is too important to her! But…you might be right. With a father like hers…”

-“Yes…She has a horrible father. He was the one who separated them. Because of him the Captain is in the state that he is in now. Be look worse by every day.”

-“He really misses Kagome-chan…We must hope that everything works out for the best…”

-“I too hope, Sango.”

It was true what they said about Inuyasha. By day passed, from when he was separated from Kagome, he was looking worse. He wasn't eating almost anything and he wasn't talking to nobody. He was separated from the world. He didn't look better either. The color in his cheeks was drained, his hair was ruffled and his amber eyes were a simple yellow. Not to mention that he didn't bathe for 2 weeks. (A/N: bleah!) Now that Kagome wasn't beside him, it didn't count if he lived or died. Kagome was everything for him. And if he didn't have her, then he didn't deserve living.

Riku was on “THE DEMON'S PRIDE” tighting the sails, when he saw something in the distance. He climbed in the “crow's nest” and watched through the periscope. He saw another ship closing in to the island. He yelled:

-“Ship ho!”

When Miroku heard that, he ran on the ship and also watched through the periscope. Sango and Shippou came beside him.

-“Is it true, Miroku?” a frightened Shippou asked. “Have they discovered us?”

Miroku watched closely the approaching ship. He froze when he saw the flag.

-“It can't be…”

-“What is it?” asked Sango. “Are we in danger? I'll cal the others!”

-“No, Sango!” Miroku stopped her. “Look.”

He gave her the periscope and Sango looked through it. Sango froze when, through the periscope, she saw Kagome.

-“Kagome-chan…It's really her! She's back!” Sango became happy.

-“Kagome's back! I'm gonna call the Captain!” said Shippou and he ran like hell to announce Inuyasha.

Miroku still watched through the periscope to assure that she was really Kagome. But he saw something weird. A young man was by her side and he was holding her hand. Miroku didn't think that was something bad, that he was just a friend, but when he saw that he tried and kiss her, something made him jump.

-“It can't be!” yelled Miroku.

-“What is it?” Sango asked puzzled.

-“I don't think that calling the Captain is a good idea.”

-“Why are you saying that? It's Kagome-chan!”

-“It is Kagome-sama, but it seems that the young man beside her can be her husband.”

-“What?! You're lying! Kagome-chan promised the Captain that she wouldn't choose anybody than him!”

-“Maybe you're right. One look at her face and you can see that she isn't very happy, and when I saw that he tried to kiss her, she backed away. Surely her father did it again and married her forcefully!”

The two continued to watch the ship approaching. Meanwhile, on the ship, Kagome was nervous. She couldn't believe that she was back on this island. With every meter that the ship was approaching, memories about what happened on this island flooded her mind. Her hart was beating manically, almost jumping from her chest and tears were streaming down her cheeks. She was happy, she was sad, she was nervous, she was terrified. All the emotions, she had them. Never did she think that she will return here. Her mother observed her state and came beside her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

-“Don't worry, my dear, everything will be alright. All will be happy that you have returned.”

-“I know, mother,” Kagome said, whipping a tear from her eye. “I'm happy that I've returned here, but…I'm scared. I'm scared to meet him. I'm scared to meet Inuyasha! I know that I still love him, and that I want to be with him, but, after 4 months…I just don't know if he feels the same about me. I don't know if he is with another one! In a sort of a way, I'm disgusted of myself for letting my guard down in front of my father!”

Her mother watched her with pity, and then she asked her:

-“Are you sure that you want to do this?”

-“Yes, mother! Kagome answered. “I'm very sure.”

-“Then do what your heart tells you to do,” her mother tell her and left her.

Kagome thought at he words. Her mother always had some phrases that she always said. And this was one of them. Her heart told her to stay here, but…she was engaged with Houjo. She couldn't ruin this as much as she wanted. She continued to watch the island and took a deep breath.

Shippou ran all the way to Inuyasha's house. He arrived there with the Speed of Light and started to knock like a maniac. He didn't hear anything from the house and continued to knock, knowing that Inuyasha was home. Inuyasha was numb in his gigantic bed. He felt like lying on ice. His room was dim, even if outside was day, his windows being covered. He herds the knocks at the door but he didn't answer. But it still knocked…and knocked. He got up feeling weak and dizzy. He dragged himself downstairs and opened the door without thinking. Then, Shippou jumped at his chest with tears in his eyes.

-“Captain!!!” he yelled trying to wake him from his state.

Inuyasha came to his senses for a moment.

-“What is it Shippou? Why are you here?”

-“Kagome!”

Inuyasha numbed.

-“What did you say?” He couldn't believe it.

-“Kagome's back! She came with her ship and she's in the port right now!”

-“Ka…Kagome? Don't mock me Shippou!” he yelled at the little kitsune.

-“I'm very sure that it's her! I'll recognize her from a thousand! And I saw her through Miroku's periscope!”

Inuyasha didn't say anything more and ran towards the port to see if Shippou was telling the truth. His heart was running from the impatience. He will see Kagome again. To see those cobalt eyes in which he liked to bathe, that milky skin, those rose cheeks like the freshest petal of roe, that smell with a tint of lavender, with he loved so much and those red and sweet lips that only they could be. But his happiness turned to fright as he stopped in his tracks. He was scared of what she could say. Will she forgive him or will she say that she will never want to see him again? Without being careful at the way, he arrived in the port. He looked at the docks and saw her ship. His heart went crazy. Shippou told the truth. He tried to come closer, but not enough to be seen. Not yet.

The ones of the ship started to come down. First, there were two soldiers with shining armor that had a sharp sword and a musket in their arms.

-`It looks like her family wants her safety, even if she is with her friends,' thought Inuyasha with a smile.

Then he saw a young man coming down the ship. He was wearing a military costume made from a blue suit with tails, and white pants. He was wearing a lot of medals, which was a proof that he was part of the military. On the back he weared a red cape, which was slowly beating in the breeze of the wind. Inuyasha didn't think that he was a danger, thinking that he also was for her protection. This man could have taken Sesshoumaru's place in the navy. Then…he saw her. Kagome began to come down the ramp like a feather. She weared a blue furisode with white chrysanthemums. Her hair was caught in a bun on top of her head, with some locks hanging loose on her shoulders. In one hand she had an umbrella to protect her from the sun, and in the other she had a fan. She didn't wear make-up, her face being perfect the way it was, just her lips were jus a little red. Inuyasha's chest caved at how beautiful she was. The color came back to his cheeks and his eyes started to sparkle. He wished to run to her, to grab her waist, to kiss her deeply and take her far away, where even her family couldn't find her. But he remained calm in front of his thoughts.

Kagome came down the ship, being helped by Houjo on the last part. She thanked him and started to look around. She saw that a lot of things had change from when she left this place in flames. She saw that the repairs were almost finished. Then her gaze fell on the assemblage of people which had been waiting for their “savior”. Then, Kagome heard 3 voices that she didn't think that she will hear again:

-“Kagome!”

-“Kagome-chan!”

-“Kagome-sama!”

Kagome saw Shippou, Sango and Miroku running to her. Kagome couldn't resist anymore and ran with open arms to her friends, her tears running on her face.

-“My friends!” she said as she hugged them. Kagome was very happy to see them.

-“Kagome-chan, I'm so happy to se you! I thought that I will never see you again!”

-“And I am happy to see you also, Sango-chan!” Kagome said with a huge smile on her face.

Oh, how Inuyasha did loved that smile! Only she could have such a smile. How did he want to see that smile every day.

Houjo watched her radiant face. Never, since they engaged, did Kagome smiled or laughed in that way. He saw how happy she was with her friends and he thought how she was beside him. Beside his…she was just there. He smiled at her happy face.

-`She rally is happy among these people. Never, absolutely never have I saw her like this, so full of life. If she is this way with her friends, then I wonder how she is with the Captain.' He watched once more her face. `Even if I loose such a lady, I better sacrifice my happiness for hers. She needs to stay among the loved ones.'

Shippou jumped in her arms.

-“So, Kagome, will you stay with us forever?”

Kagome's face saddened. Shippou looked at her puzzled.

-“What is it, Kagome? Won't you stay with us?”

Kagome looked at him sadly, then she wished to answer, but she heard a voice:

-“Kagome-oneechan!”

Kaname jumped in her arms.

-“Kaname-chan! Oh, how I missed you”

-“And I missed you, Kagome-oneechan! When the Captain came without you I thought that something bad has happened to you. I was afraid.”

-“Don't worry now. Everything is fine now.”

Kaname smiled and handed her a flower. Kagome recognized her as being “The Night's Aura”. Kagome easily took the flower and watch her as if she remembered something. She remembered the night when Inuyasha brought her to his mother's garden. Tears began to form in her eyes as she took in the pleasant smell. Then all the memories of Inuyasha came to her. Good and bad. She missed him. She wanted to see him. Badly!

-“Kagome-oneechan, why are you crying?” a worried Kaname asked.

-“It's nothing, Kaname-chan. It's just…where did you get this flower?”

-“Every night, since he came back, the Captain always had gone somewhere. One night I followed him and saw that he went to a beautiful garden full of these flowers. There he started crying and saying things about you. And this made me worry, because I thought that something happened to you. Then he took some flowers and put them in his garden. When I asked him why he is planting these flowers her, he told me that he will make a nice bouquet for you.”

Kagome's eyes got bigger. Did he want to do that? Maybe he did that just to remember his mother, to feel her closer to him. Or maybe…to feel HER (Kagome) closer to him. Maybe he thought of the first time he went with her at his mother grave and remembered that she (Kagome) liked the flower's smell. Kaname continued:

-“When I heard from Shippou that you are coming, I went and took a flower from his garden to bring it to you. I wanted to pick more, but the Captain could observe.”

Kagome smiled at what Kaname did. Kaname smiled too, and then she took the flower and put her in Kagome's hair.

-“You're much beautiful with her! If mother would have been here, she would also think.”

Kagome smiled again but nothing could hide the sadness. She thought how Kaname could resist without a mother. Her mother was killed by Sesshoumaru's men. She wanted to ask her about something, but just then, she heard the voice that, in the last period, she only heard it in her sweetest dreams:

-“Kagome…?”
